Giroud is injured. Leao and Okafor are also in the pits. The Milan that will face Fiorentina tomorrow evening is a decimated team, so much so that the choice of men for Stefano Pioli's attack is practically obligatory: Jovic in the centre, Chukwueze and Pulisic on his sides. But the bench needs to be made up, and the coach has chosen to draw from the youngsters. In this case, from the very young.
Among those called up, the name of Francesco Camarda stands out. Pure talent, he is unanimously considered the rising star of Italian football. The only detail: he was born on March 10, 2008 . The Primavera boy will not be a starter, but could take over during the match. And it would be a record, not just for Milan.
At 15 years, 8 months and 16 days, he would become the youngest debutant in the history of Serie A : he would surpass the previous record holder, Wisdom Amey of Bologna, who took the field against Genoa in May 2022 at 15 years, 9 months and day.
Among the other precocious players, we find Pietro Pellegri (now at Torino), who was four days older than Amey, Amadei with 15 years, 9 months and 5 days and Rivera with 15 years, 9 months and 15 days.
